Lorenz Clarissa
The Lorenz Clarissa is a vintage camera that appears infrequently on the UK collector market. With limited public reference data available for this specific model, this page focuses on what the auction record shows rather than speculative specifications.
Hammer prices at UK auction are scarce: a single recorded sale in June 2023 fetched £1,700, which is the only verified data point and therefore serves as both the high and low reference for what a Clarissa is worth at saleroom level. With only one result on file as of 2026, today's value for any individual example will depend heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day, and a single sale should not be treated as a reliable median. Buyers asking how much a Lorenz Clarissa sells for should expect significant variation around that figure.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.
